Kobi Borrows a Pouch: An Aussie Koala Adventure

By Margot Finke

Kobi was a young koala who thought he knew all the bush-smarts he needed. Fed up with riding on his mom's back, Kobi wanted a gum tree of his own. Very soon, he discovered that looking for the right gum tree was a dangerous business. He ended up lost, scared, and homeless—and he really, really, missed his mom. Kobi soon realized he must learn more bush-smarts, and FAST, if he were to stay alive. . . But where do you find bush-smarts? Jumping Grasshoppers, how would he manage? Then, Milli-Milli Kangaroo came along, and he tells her his sad story. Find out if Kobi learns enough bush-smarts to survive?
